FAQ
Q: Is my data secure?
Yes! All XML to JSON conversion happens entirely in your browser using client-side JavaScript. Your data never leaves your device and is not sent to any server.

 XML attributes are converted to JSON properties. For example, <user id="123"> becomes {"user": {"_attributes": {"id": "123"}}}. Element text content is typically stored in a _text property.

Yes! The converter can handle XML files up to several megabytes. For optimal performance, we recommend files under 5MB.
